First Lady Michelle Obama?s ?The Evolution of Mom Dancing" skit on NBC?s ?Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,? was a big hit with viewers.
Although many laughed and noticed what a great dancer the Mom-In-Chief is, let?s not lose sight of the purpose behind the chuckle-inducing performance.
Mrs. O, who, we must admit can out-dance President Barack Obama any day, is promoting her ?Let?s Move!? program, which launched two years ago, to help stem the tide of childhood obesity in this country.
Though ?Mom Dancing? moves like ?go shopping, get groceries,? the ?driving the station wagon? and the ?just the hands part of ?Single Ladies,?? are pretty hilarious, the youth health crisis facing our nation is no joke.
Over the past 30 years, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled.
Today, nearly 1 in 3 children are overweight or obese.
When it comes to African American and Hispanic children, the rates get even higher-- approximately 40% of the children are overweight or obese.
Perhaps Mrs. O?s silly Jimmy Fallon-assisted dancing will motivate moms to get up and get moving with their kids.

Moms are among the greatest influencers of our children. Do you think Michelle Obama's moves will motivate mothers across America?
